Guide & Speciality Cameras

If you've ever wished you could see or photograph the whole sky all at once, now you can with a Sky Monitor. These highly specialized cameras employ a “fish-eye” lens that delivers a 360 degree overhead view. Rugged enough to withstand all types of weather, they stand up to sunlight and provide daytime views of sky conditions. Some of these amazing units are also sensitive enough to pick up objects as faint as the Milky Way.

Imagine being able to check sky conditions at your remote observatory through your computer. Think of the possibilities of a camera that can time-lapse image a meteor shower or provide a live feed of bright astronomical activities. You can watch a sunrise or sunset, spot a rainbow, or check for aurora. These are just a few of the applications a Sky Monitor can do for you.
